Norfeder Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 (edited) Hi there. Currently I'm working on an AoE weapon with custom animation. It's a drill cone that covers the hand. In which I used owner.AnimState:SetMultiSymbolExchange("swap_object", "hand") to make the weapon sprite appear above the hand. But somehow the hand appeared above the weapon when I tried to implement a custom animation on the weapon I'm using the custom animation template. I thought the layering order was determined by the animation, but it somehow it did fix the layering problem. So what exactly did I do wrong?

K1NGT1GER609 Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 Got a couple of suggestions:Do you have: owner.AnimState:Show("ARM_carry") and owner.AnimState:Hide("ARM_normal") on your onequip function? If not add them, otherwise you could also do something like owner.AnimState:Hide("ARM_carry_007") as a possible fix. The animation mod from the tutorials section usually saves the z-order, so when you moved the arm_carry_007 did you also save it and delete the customanim zip file in the anim folder and the exported-customanim as if you don't the auto compiler will build on the previous saved build. Last suggestion is I assume you have events on the timeline of spriter, is there a chance in one of the events the hand possibly overextended the weapon's holding place?

IronHunter Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 If you are swapping the symbols using multisymbol exchange, does your animation work properly without multisymbol exchange? If yes, what is happening is the animation symbols are swapped as well. You can either change the z-order in the animation to have the hand over the item. Or clear the symbol exchange when the animation starts and reapply it when it ends. Cheers, Iron_Hunter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
